Traffic Alert:

Los Alamos County Traffic and Streets Crews, working in conjunction with the Los Alamos Police Department, will assist with the transport of an oversized load Monday, Nov. 16.

Between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m, the transport company will be moving the load from the bottom of Totavi Hill, up N.M. 502, west on Central Avenue, south on Oppenheimer and east on Trinity Drive to the destination of 278 DP Road.

In the evening, the transport will leave Los Alamos between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., exiting DP Road and heading east through the new roundabout on N.M. 502 to proceed out of town down the Main Hill road.

For the safety of the traveling public, LAPD will close the Main Hill during the morning and evening transports. To avoid delays, an alternative is to use the Truck Route, via N.M. 4 during this time frame.

Motorists should be cautious traveling near this oversized load.
